How can you kill bamboo that is straying from your neigbors's yard? I keep stomping on them. They are in my Peony flowers and I don't know what to do except dig them up and replace them in order to get the bamboo out. I wonder if I can make my neigbor pay to have it out? n Maybe I can have him do he work of replacing my flowers.

    You could deprive them of sunshine by covering with cardboard or 9-10 sheets of newspaper then covering with 2-3 inches of mulch.

    You can cut it down and drown in cleaning vinegar.May take a number of applications, but vinegar is cheap and not harmful to pets and environment. It will eventually rot out or call in a stump grinder. When you want to replant you will need a lot of good compost. Be patient, you got this!
